At weekend, you have got more time, so use it not just for your games, but for rest too. B Eat healthy food! It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruits and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of wrong food will harm your health. C Do not worry. Be happy! Many people believe that happiness is important for our health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teachers. D Say no to smoking! Yes, you knew I was going to say this! It is so important. Smoking is not cool. It is dangerous. It harms nearly every part of your body. Think about how your family and friends will feel and think about what it will do to your health. 21. _______ 22. _______ 23. _______ I like fried chicken and hamburgers. I hate vegetables.

A few days earlier, the snake arrived from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out and hid somewhere. “I was trying to pick it up when it bit me. I threw it across the kitchen and it landed on a table.” While the snake was lying on the table. Henry quickly picked up his mobile phone and took a photo with it. Then the snake hid behind the fridge. When Henry was trying to find the snake, his hand began to hurt badly. He hurried to hospital. As the doctors were checking him, the pain got worse.

But what happens when it hits a mosquito? In 2012, David Hu, a scientist, became interested in this problem and decided to do a research. He used a high-speed camera so that he could watch the mosquitoes in very slow motion and find out what they’re doing when they’re out in the rain. What he found is that when a raindrop falls on a mosquito, it’s like when a bus hits a person. Besides, the little insect (昆虫) is hit by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. So why don’t we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains? A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter—0.002g only. This saves its life in raindrop hits. Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force that is strong enough to kill it. The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn’t get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off the raindrop and fly away. 27. The underlined word “motion” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______. A. time B. movie C. step D．movement 28. What protect mosquitoes in the rain? A. Their mouths and their noses. B. Their eyes and their ears. C. Their legs and their wings. D. Their light bodies and their hairs. 29. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How Raindrops Hurt Mosquitoes B. When Mosquitoes Are in Danger C. Why Mosquitoes Aren’t Hurt in Rain D. When Mosquitoes Meet Their Death mosquito 八年级英语试卷第 6页（共 8页） D At an early age, we start learning how to manage (管理) money by watching our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算). In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. We should make clever spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t pay for it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job.

In China, for the first six months of this year, there were 133 marathons across the country. Teenagers also join marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old boy from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He got the first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Suqian Marathon held on April 2. For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He runs about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week before the run. “Unlike the 800-meter run at school, a marathon is about a runner’s endurance (耐力) and psychological quality (心理素质).” he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up. “In long- distance running, the only opponent (对手) you have to beat is yourself,” Xu added. Kindness from the people around plays a big part in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi joined a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course really encouraged her. “When things were hard, people around cheered me on. Even if it was just the words, ‘keep it up’, it meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to the end,” Li said. She believes that running a marathon is about staying focused on the final goal, not the suffering along the way. “Our life is also a marathon,” Li said. 34. How long does Xu Qian run each week to get ready for the race? 35. According to Xu Qian, who do you have to beat in long-distance running? 36. What does Li Zhouzi think is a great help in her running? 37. Do you like the long-distance running, like 800-meter run ? Why or why not？ (Give two reasons.) 八年级英语试卷第 8页（共 8页） 五、文段表达(10 分) 38.根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于 50 词的英语文段写作。文 中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实．．．．．．． 的校名和姓名．．．．．．。 现在每个学校都有丰富的校园活动,如运动会、大课堂、艺术节等。假如 你是李华，你的英国笔友 Peter 对你们的学校活动很感兴趣，他给你发来邮 件询问你最难忘的一次学校活动，请你用英语回复邮件，谈谈你最难忘的学 校活动是什么，做了什么，再谈谈你的感受。 提示词语：School Sports Day, school trip, Art Festival, happy 提示问题：●What is your most unforgettable school activity? ●What did you do? ●How did you feel?
